[00:14.500]As I was coming ’round the corner, I heard some people say
[00:19.500]Here comes the dandy darkey, here he comes this way
[00:24.000]His heel is like a snow plow, his mouth is like a trap
[00:29.000]And when he opens it gently you will see a fearful gap
[00:32.500]And then I laughed
[00:51.000]
[01:01.000]They said his mother was a princess, his father was a prince
[01:06.000]And he’d been the apple of their eye if he had not been a quince
[01:10.400]But he’ll be the king of Africa in the sweet bye and bye,
[01:14.800]And when I heard them say it, why I’d laugh until I’d cry …
[01:19.000]And then I laughed …
[01:20.900](Laughs to the music)
[01:37.000]
[01:46.900]So now kind friends just listen, to what I’m going to say,
[01:51.100]I’ve tried my best to please you with my simple little lay …
[01:55.500]Now whether you think it funny or a quiet bit of chaff,
[01:59.800]Why all I’m going to do is just to end it with a laugh …
[02:04.000]And then I laughed …
[02:06.000](Laughs to the music)
